Molly's Story part 1

I wanted to share with everyone in a bit more detail just how miraculous bringing Molly home really was.

We arrived on Saturday the 18th and intended to spend Sunday the 19th (my birthday) enjoying a shopping spree at a SuperWalmart made possible by my dear friends Beverly and Laura(thank you guys SO much!) We learned that several members of our birth mom’s family wanted to meet us.

No one should ever think that something this monumental only affects the birth mom(M) and the adoptive parents-this (or at least in our case) does, impact an entire family.

And, like any blended family there are conflicts. Conflicts are always stressful and the 19th was especially so for everyone. I believe everyone involved wanted the best outcome for the situation and all hearts were in the right place, but sometimes we forget the goal line when we are in the skirmish.

We are glad that we were able to meet this family and appreciate how much everyone supported us and this adoption. We had a peaceful meeting with birth mom later that day and felt much better as we ended the 19th.
